You're a teacher in an area day care center. Before your children arrive each morning, you set up several areas with a variety of hands-on activities. As each child arrives, he or she chooses an activity that interests him or her. What type of curriculum organization are you using?

A. Behavior learning
B. Special needs
C. Adult-centered
D. Child-initiated

And your thinking is?

Of course, D.

The type of curriculum organization being used in this scenario is D. Child-initiated.

Child-initiated curriculum allows children to have a choice and take ownership of their own learning. In this case, each child is able to choose an activity that interests them, which enables them to engage in hands-on activities that they find enjoyable and meaningful. This approach recognizes that children have different interests, learning styles, and developmental needs, and empowers them to explore and learn at their own pace. The teacher acts as a facilitator, providing a variety of activities and materials for the children to choose from, while also observing and guiding their learning experiences.
